If a secant and a tangent intersect at a point outside the circle, how is the tangent length related to the secant?

• The square of the tangent length equals the product of the secant length and its external segment.

• The tangent length is equal to the secant length.

• The tangent length is unrelated to the secant length.

• The tangent length is half the length of the secant.
